Last year members procure a range of products and services with consortium cash, from LED lighting and lift maintenance, to new build and demolition.

As a not for profit company, EEM reinvest the surplus it makes back into the communities it serves, a spokesman said.

The latest round of funding was announced at the consortium’s annual general meeting.

Managing director Pete Smith said: “Knowing the work we do not only helps organisations achieve affordable rent for tenants, but helps to invest in the communities they serve is a real achievement.”

Chair Shaun Bennet added: “It was great to see the real difference the grants made to local communities last year.”
